net: sched: flower: don't call synchronize_rcu() on mask creation
Current flower mask creating code assumes that temporary mask that is used
when inserting new filter is stack allocated. To prevent race condition
with data patch synchronize_rcu() is called every time fl_create_new_mask()
replaces temporary stack allocated mask. As reported by Jiri, this
increases runtime of creating 20000 flower classifiers from 4 seconds to
163 seconds. However, this design is no longer necessary since temporary
mask was converted to be dynamically allocated by commit 2cddd2014782
("net/sched: cls_flower: allocate mask dynamically in fl_change()").
Remove synchronize_rcu() calls from mask creation code. Instead, refactor
fl_change() to always deallocate temporary mask with rcu grace period.
Fixes: 195c234d15c9 ("net: sched: flower: handle concurrent mask insertion")
